Feng Gui brought a person from Xiaqiu Village back to the village and needed to take care of food and livestock.
The surrounding villages came to rent animals one after another, but if they could find any way, they did not want to rent them and had to exchange them for food.
Zhu Cheng is a young man, twenty years old. He got married the year before last. The child is two years old, but is actually one year and three months old.
His daughter-in-law's natal family is in Fuguang Village. They rent livestock and he is responsible for taking care of it.
Early in the morning, he put large and small packages on the animals, rented fifteen mules, and gave out seventeen mules, with people riding on both ends. All three of his family went.
I happened to have the opportunity. When I returned to my parents’ house, my uncle came to the door and held the child in his arms.
Before leaving, the child’s grandmother chased him out, carrying a bunch of copper coins.
She handed it to her daughter-in-law, "Lan'a is busy in the village. Your father and I won't go there first. You give it to your mother-in-law. You are a married daughter-in-law, not someone else's water."
"Mom, there are too many." The daughter-in-law's eyes turned red.
"Not much. I will make more money in the future and give it to them. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are good people. You have a child and you come here to take care of the confinement child.
His family has no If you don't bring much, life will be hard. If his family has money, he can still give it to us.
But don't talk about silly things. If you do, we may not have any villagers. Keep this in mind. "
As the mother-in-law said, the most important thing was to keep it secret.
The daughter-in-law nodded vigorously, "Mom, I won't say anything even if you beat me to death."
"Don't talk about death, be careful on the road, pay attention to everything you say, and obey every word."
p>
My mother-in-law said a few more words and waved her hands. They were all her grandson’s nicknames.
The family of three set off and walked for an hour and a half before arriving at Fuguang Village.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, some playing children ran towards the village.
After a while, the head of the village came out with a smile on his face, "It's hard work on the road so early, why are there two more heads?"
"Uncle Fang, it's me, Xiaolan, I'm Go back to your parents’ house and use it for riding.”
Back to the village, my wife said hello.
"Hey Xiaolan hasn't changed in two years." The head of the house recognized her.
People have indeed changed. When I got married, I was thin, but now I eat well, my face is flushed, and I have new clothes made of silk.
The villagers came to watch. The daughter who was married off from the Fang Wu family returned home. It was amazing. Her clothes were so good.
Fifteen mules were divided, and Zhu Cheng and the others arrived at the door of Fang Wu's house.
A family of four had just received the news and had to greet them when they went out.
Two people in their forties, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and a girl of ten years old.
"Sister, brother-in-law." The two children shouted.
"My uncle is here." The mother-in-law looked at the two adults and stretched out her hand.
The child was handed to her, and she smiled and said, "It looks really white and strong, with small arms and legs."
Zhu Cheng called his father and mother.Mules carry things up and down.
"Uncle, what are they?" the mother-in-law was curious.
"Mom, go in and talk." Her daughter winked.
Zhu Cheng moved the children three times, tied up the mules, and the family entered the house and closed the door.
The packages were placed on the bed. The daughter-in-law opened one first and took out rock sugar, malt sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, and sesame sugar.
Peel the candy to your parents first, and then to your younger brothers and sisters.
The people of Fang Wu’s family had caramel in their mouths, and their eyes were filled with surprise. How come there was still a large package of rock candy weighing two kilograms.
Fang Lan continued to open the package and found a sealed jar.
"Mom, there are twenty kilograms of rapeseed oil here for cooking at home."
She said again and hit the next one.
Twenty pounds of bacon, five air-dried chickens, four bolts of silk, twenty pounds of salt, ten balls of honey locust soap, ten pounds of lard, and a set of eight plates, eight dishes, and eight bowls of tableware.
In addition, there are fifty catties of ramie, thirty catties of cotton, five braised bamboo rats, and one hundred eggs.
Finally, she took out a bunch of money, which was always one thousand cash, and put it on the bed. "My mother-in-law chased her out and gave it to her when she came here. No matter how many things she has, it's not as good as cash in hand."
"Lan, your family is struggling. I know your Xiaqiu Village is rich, but"
The mother-in-law was dazzled and frightened when she saw things.
My family lives a normal and smooth life. These things are what the family can get in exchange for all the expenses except food in two years.
There is still one thousand cash left, plus a big bag of sugar.
"Mom, my mother-in-law said, I am the daughter-in-law who married into the family, not someone else's daughter-in-law.
Not to mention that my family is rich, and we in Xiaqiu Village are rich. , we eat meat every day.
We keep half of the money we earn from work, and the other half is paid by the village minister.
We use the minister’s money to eat in a big pot, and our own money. We will pay for the things we bring here.
The two mules were brought by the village chief to carry water for the family. We will pay for them separately from the village. "< /p>
Fang Lan said happily, not caring about this thing.
"Xiaqiu Village is famous for its benevolence and righteousness. That's why I married you in the first place. My uncle, you sit down, I will cook for you, and you and your father have some wine."
The mother-in-law’s perception has changed. There is money in Xiaqiu Village, but it is not ordinary money.
Zhu Cheng hurriedly stopped him, pointing to the two unopened packages next to him, "Mom, you don't have to cook, I brought them from home."
The packages were opened, and one had a lid. The basket contains sheets of butter cakes, sliced bacon, sliced cucumbers, green onions, and coriander.
Add fried black bean sauce, five pounds of soy beef, and salted duck eggs.
The other contains a ten-pound jar of wine, a wine cup, and a wine bundle.
"Xiaocheng, you are afraid that your family will not give you food to eat." My father-in-law was a little unhappy.
"Dad, I brought something new here for you to try. You haven't tasted it before. The drinking utensils are here to honor you. You usually drink medicinal wine."
Zhu Cheng accompanied him He laughed and said that according to etiquette, you really shouldn't bring your own food instead of asking others to cook.
"Your village is really rich," the father-in-law smiled.
He really couldn't provide such a meal unless he cooked what he brought.
"Uncle, why are you willing to kill cows in this village?" The mother-in-law felt sorry for the cows.
"There are always dead cows in the village. If you see them, buy them and come back to eat them." Zhu Cheng shook his head.
Wow, the baby suddenly cried.
"Quickly, look, are you hungry or have you peed?"
The mother-in-law hugged the child and took her daughter to the room next to her.
The baby took up both of them. First, he changed the diaper he brought with him. The mother-in-law immediately went to wash it and the daughter breastfed the baby.
After a lot of busy work, after settling down and the baby falling asleep, everyone went to the table to eat.
“I haven’t stopped breastfeeding yet,” the mother-in-law asked at this moment.
"Wait for another two months. She doesn't need to be busy at home, so she can eat other things now."
Zhu Cheng responded, Hanhan said that it would be okay to feed her for a few more months. Otherwise it would have been discontinued long ago.
The family ate happily. Zhu Cheng turned to look at the use of livestock. His father-in-law brought two mules to carry water to his family.
On the first day of June, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the altar in the suburbs and walked on the seven-star steps to pray for rain.
It was estimated that it was time to rain. A light rain fell on the third day after Zhu Yuanzhang prayed for rain.
Everyone in the drought-stricken areas breathed a sigh of relief, it would be better if it rained.
People in Xiaqiu Village finally no longer need to water, so Zhu Wentian freed up his hands to lead people to plant bamboo fungus.
When the heavy rain fell and the weather became fine, he began to make money and carry out his great undertaking.
The reserves of stone soda are sufficient, and there is no shortage of rapeseed oil.
The next steps are simple, make a mold, choose spices, and add salt filtered with kaolin clay to make it as pure as possible.
The soap and toilet soap produced in this way are hard, otherwise they are soft.
Zhu Wentian doesn’t think this is anything to show off, it is a necessary skill for anyone with modern knowledge.
Yes, it is normal. No, that's the problem.
The next step is to make a washboard, which is used for washing clothes. There was no such thing before. It was either used for washing silk, or it was beaten with a stick, stepped on by feet, or rubbed by hands.
The villagers looked at what Hanhan had made and didn’t know how to use it.
Zhu Wentian gestured and introduced, "Fragrant, wash your hands, unscented, clothes, board, rub."
After hearing this, the villagers laughed and expressed their understanding, soap washes people, soap washes. For clothes, use this board to rub them.
Try it, someone brought out the tub, found the dirty clothes, and washed them on the spot.
"It's clean. It's really clean. It's faster. It's easier to use than soap locust. It's also a good scrubbing board."
After washing,A piece of clothing, everyone looks at it and gives an evaluation.
The next question is how to sell it. The director picked up a piece of soap and said, "Isn't it dangerous to sell this?"
"No, it is sold, it's different, but"
"That's it." The chief said helpfully.
"Yes, hehehehehehe." Zhu Wentian is very dedicated and still works hard to maintain his character.
"How much will it cost?" The village chief is ready to make the village rich.
However, all the money earned from this soap is the minister's money. The villagers use the soap themselves at no cost, and the money from selling the soap has nothing to do with the villagers.
Zhu Wentian ""
He nodded, "First of all, let's talk about who likes to use soap. Soap is for the villagers, and soap is required for takeout.
Now We in Ming Dynasty have soap beans and scented soap balled into balls, but it is really not possible to use plant ash to wash things.
Ordinary people will not buy our soap unless the soap is cheaper than plant ash.
Rich people don't buy soap without fragrance. We just make money from rich people by selling scented soap.
Based on the size, the price of the same size soap and the scented round soap made from soap pods should be about the same. It’s five times that amount.”
“Okay, let’s make a few hundred yuan first,” Li Chang hesitated.
"Xuancheng, the municipal officials in Dangtu County are too small, and the people in Xuancheng County and Ningguo Mansion have absolute interests in us.
Our rock sugar manufacturing method and farming After the matter was reported to Ning Guo Mansion, the relationship with us will be different.
We can also inquire about the results after they report it, in case there is a reward."
Zhu Wentian. The village chief analyzed that not only economic interests but also political interests were tied up between the village and Ningguo Mansion.
The director touched Hanhan’s head, "You are right, I will take you with me tomorrow morning. Where will you stay tonight?"
"Sacrifice hall, hehehehe" Zhu Wentian thought about it Distance, choose the nearest place.
The chief shook his head and looked for someone to make arrangements for tomorrow's trip.
The next day it was still dark, the village chief went to the sacrificial hall to wake Hanhan up, had breakfast, and the team set off.
Bring six hundred pieces of soap and one hundred pieces of soap, sickles, bamboo spears, and food.
There were ten cars in total and fifty villagers in good health. After selling soap, they wanted to buy something, fearing that they would be robbed on the road.
